true or false

when you're used to joking around, it can be hard to distinguish what's real and true from what's plain jest and untrue. it doesn't matter if all you want to do is just joke around. but what if you want to know if the joke means something? of course, there's a risk of being called presumptuous if you would ask if what you're being told is a joke or not! that's why you don't ask such questions to people whom you're used to kidding with. asking may break something: the fun, possibly the relationship, or your barrier against your fears.

they say jokes are half-meant. in my case, i can say yes. it's even full meant. i just don't know about his.
